How do I bind an array to a repeater?

Hello folks,

How do I bind an array to a repeater?

or bind an array to a hyperlink (which is repeated inside a
repeater) ?

I get this message:

Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'DataItem' is
not a member of 'System.Web.UI. Control'.

for line below that begins with <li>

This is my simplified example code. I have included 2 examples
both of which fail.

+++ +++ +++ +++
<Script Runat="Server">

Sub Page_Load()
Dim aryDates() As String = {"2004-07-04", "2004-07-05",
"2004-07-06"}

rptRHS_Menu.Dat aSource = aryDates
rptRHS_Menu.Dat aBind()

End Sub

</Script>

<html>
<body>
<asp:Repeater
ID="rptRHS_Menu "
Runat="Server" />
<ItemTemplate >
<li><a href="<%# String.Concat( Container.DataI tem,
".html") %>"><%# Container.DataI tem %></a></li>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</body>
</html>
+++ +++ +++ +++

<Script Runat="Server">
Sub Page_Load()
Dim aryDates As ArrayList
aryDates = New ArrayList

aryDates.Add ("2004-07-04")
aryDates.Add ("2004-07-05")
aryDates.Add ("2004-07-06")

aryDates.Revers e

rptRHS_Menu2.Da taSource = aryDates
rptRHS_Menu2.Da taBind()
End Sub
</Script>
<html>
<body>
<form Runat="Server">
<asp:Repeater
ID="rptRHS_Menu 2"
Runat="Server" />
<ItemTemplate >
<li>
<a href='<%# String.Format( "{0}.html",
Container.DataI tem ) %>'><%# String.Format( "{0}",
Container.DataI tem) %></a>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Oh my God. I've been told I can't do it. I have to put the data
into a hash table and add that to the array. Like this:

Surely there is a simpler way. Why can't I just refer to the
bound array as Container.DataI tem(0) ?

I'm sure I've seen examples like that.

Here is the solution that's been indicated to me. There must be
a simpler way than this:

++ ++ ++ ++
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">

Function Add2Hash(dtd As String) As HashTable
Dim hshDates As HashTable
hshDates = New HashTable()
hshDates.Add("D ate", dtd)
Return hshDates
End Function

Sub Page_Load(sende r as Object, e as EventArgs)

Dim aryDates As ArrayList
aryDates = New ArrayList

aryDates.Add(Ad d2Hash("2004-07-04"))
aryDates.Add(Ad d2Hash("2004-07-05"))
aryDates.Add(Ad d2Hash("2004-07-06"))

aryDates.Revers e

rptRHS_Menu3.Da taSource = aryDates
rptRHS_Menu3.Da taBind()

End Sub

</script>

<html>

<form Runat="Server">

<asp:Repeater id="rptRHS_Menu 3" Runat="Server">

Container.DataI tem.Item("Date" )) %>'><%#
Container.DataI tem.Item("Date" ) %></a></li>

Zenobia:

The code you posted in your original example works fine for me.
Perhaps you could post the complete code as the error must be
somewhere else.

I assure you it is quite possible to bind to an array or an ArrayList.

Thanks, but I think you must've fixed my code error when you got
it to work.

The error was due to an improperly closed <asp:repeater > tag.

I'm closing it here:

<asp:Repeater
ID="rptRHS_Menu "
Runat="Server" />

and including a </asp:Repeater> below that! The example should
be changed to

<asp:Repeater
ID="rptRHS_Menu "
Runat="Server">

for it to work.

The other 'solution' I posted in reply to this post was over
complex. I don't need the hash table.

Nov 18 '05 #6
Ah, yes. I had copied out just the text inside of <ItemTemplate >.
